SAN CLEMENTE, Calif—A new program designed to provide food to needy senior citizens, veterans, and the disabled in southern Orange County was launched in an outdoor ceremony hosted by Supervisor Lisa Bartlett.

The Nutrition Gap program is designed to help senior citizens age 55 and older, veterans, and the disabled decrease food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic. It offers to deliver biweekly food boxes door-to-door to program participants located in the county’s Fifth District, which Bartlett represents.
